Legal representation of all types of criminal and quasi-criminal charges from beginning to end. We are here to assist you at any stage of your legal matter, whether you need us to help you arrange your surrender to police, run your bail hearing, or conduct your trial.

LIMITED SCOPE SERVICES

At Maciel Criminal Defence, we understand that each one of our clients has different needs and budgets. For this reason, we also offer legal services on a “limited scope” basis.

A limited scope agreement allows our clients to hire us for part, but not all, of their legal matter. Put it simply, we offer you the opportunity to personalize your own package of legal services. Think of it as bundles!

Examples of services that we provide under a limited scope agreement include:

Legal Opinion – Whether you are consulting a lawyer for the first time, or need someone to give you a second opinion, we are here to provide you legal advice on a multitude of issues.

Legal Representation – A limited scope agreement is also available for those clients who are seeking assistance with one particular stage of their criminal matter. For example:

Legal Advice to Victims of crime

Special note for victims of domestic assault: Please be advised that if you are a victim of domestic assault and you are contacting us to arrange for legal representation for your spouse/partner, any conversations we may have with you may place us in a conflict of interest and therefore effectively disqualify us from becoming your spouse/partner’s counsel. You should also remember that the court has likely place conditions on your spouse/partner that prohibit him or her from having any contact with you. These conditions are mandatory and breaching them can have serious consequences including additional charges.
